Darth Vader: from samurai to gladiator, this is what the Star Wars villain would look like in different periods of history according to AI

Darth Vader He may exist “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” and in fiction, but that doesn’t stop some of his fans from imagining him at various times in our history, from soldier in World War II to samurai in Feudal Japan. .

This last costume is particularly appropriate, since it is well known that filmmaker George Lucas is a fan of this historical period and the cinema based on it, using Akira Kurosawa’s film “The Hidden Fortress” as inspiration for his original idea of ​​“Star Wars.”

This influence is also seen in the famous villain, whose distinctive helmet retains the profile of ostentatious Japanese samurai armor. In particular, according to a Collider article, Darth Vader would be based on the armor of the feudal lord Date Masamune, also known as the ‘One-Eyed Dragon’.

The rest of the images generated by the Midjourney generative artificial intelligence program are perhaps less appropriate to the story of Darth Vader, visiting periods such as World War II, the Roman Empire and its coliseums, and Italy during the Renaissance in a kind of homage to the “Assassin’s Creed” video game saga.

He is not the only character that the creator of these images, known on Instagram as @midjourneyhero, has created using the AI ​​tool, and on his website on the social network one can find The Punisher and Batman also having their own travels through time. What is your favorite?
